The Hoppe’s Elite Carbon Fiber Cleaning Rod, .22-.284 Cal Rifle, 36-Inch (brand part no. RC22R) from Hoppe’s is a cleaning rod built for shooters who want a straight, controlled bench cleaning rather than a rope pull-through. Sized for .22-.284 caliber rifles at 36-inch overall, it stays straight through repeated cleaning sessions instead of flexing or taking a set. A soft, easy-grip handle with ball-bearing rotation lets the rod follow the bore’s rifling instead of fighting it, so bristles wear evenly and the bore doesn’t pick up rod-drag scratches. It’s built for a cleaning bench routine, not a range-bag pull-through, for shooters who want the most thorough clean between outings.

Key Specifications

• .22-.284 caliber rifle sizing matches the rod diameter to the bore so brushes and jags seat correctly.
• 36-inch overall length reaches the full length of a rifle bore for straight, consistent strokes.
• carbon fiber construction stays straight and rigid through repeated use instead of flexing like a cheaper rod.
• ball-bearing rotating handle lets the rod follow the bore’s rifling instead of twisting the brush against it.
• straight, true-running design won’t develop a bend or warp even after repeated, rigorous cleaning sessions.
• soft, easy-grip handle surface reduces hand fatigue during a long cleaning session.
